WHY: Emmons said no one stands stronger than our veterans. On Veterans Day, Emmons and McDonald’s will honor all military veterans by offering them a free apple pie at McDonald’s location in St. Johns.

The free apples pies will be given out from 10:30 a.m. to 11 p.m. on Veterans Day to any veteran with proof of their military service.

This is the first year area McDonald’s locations and Sen. Emmons are putting on the event, however the senator plans to continue the offer next year and expand it to additional McDonald’s locations.
